A few weeks ago I managed to tear myself away from the computer and spend some time with my husband. We enjoy strolling on the beach. Once we had even gone on the boat and seen the sunrise. But this time it was around the time that the sun was setting.

I've been there before at this time, but because I now have a camera, I see things with a different eye than before. I notice the way the light hits the mountains on the opposite end of the world, or at least opposite to where the sun is setting.

I had actually taken photos of this area during the day a few months back here. What a difference a change of color can make.

It was an amazing sunset stroll on the beach. And I'm glad I was able to capture all of this color to share with you. I suspect the light will be different in the summertime. I'll be back then with my trusty camera.

Mary, you've become quite the photographer!! These photos are all amazing, one more beautiful than the next! You picked the perfect time of day as well! Get away from the computer more often, I can't wait to see more of your pics!!

Katrin, I'm definitely following your advice and getting away from that machine. I'll be taking more strolls with my other half as the weather gets better.

Mary, these are absolutely breathtaking! I've looked through a couple of times and can't pick one that is my most favorite. The colors you captured are remarkable, which is what I am most enjoying about outdoor photography right now...catching certain colors.
I can imagine you and your husband taking this sunset stroll...and that's an equally beautiful image. I know without hesitation that your day was made complete by taking time from your day to capture nature at her loveliest.
Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hugs, Lynn

Thank you Lynn, it was the perfect end to a lovely stroll. The weather was perfect and we walked through the peebled beach so we got our exercise as well. You take photos but yo udo not know what you ahve taken till you come home open that memory card.

Beautiful pictures. Is your beach rocky? I really liked the ones with the boats. I was talking about your blog and your olive tree photos with my family over the weekend. As we were eating olives, of course. :)

Thank you Krista! Very appropriate that you should be eating olives. Yes our beaches are full of pebbles. There are sand beaches but not in our areas.

Mary, these pictures are absolutely GORGEOUS! WOW I am totally blown away! What a beautiful place to live! The mountains and the water combined are just breathtaking! Though we also live near the beach, its natural beauty never ceases to amaze me when I see others post their pictures!

It's all about the light Celeste. I read somewhere that the best time to take photos in at dawn and at sunset. So that is what I'm experimenting with. Thanks for all your sweet comments.

Mary, you have an incredible eye for the camera. I love how you frame the shot, catch the light, and capture this view on camera. It's like I'm the one behind the lens. So gorgeous. You have a talent! (Well, you have lots of them, this is another to add to the list!)

I'll try to get away from here as much as possible but I need to answer these comments too. Have to be a gracious hostess!

I just love these pictures. They are beautiful and relaxed me. I used to live near the beach in Oregon. It is still one of my favorite places on earth. I'm a bit jealous of your proximity to the water as I am decidedly inland now in the midwest! Thanks for sharing, Mary.

Kathryn I think I would become clausterphobic if I had to live away from the water. I've spent my whole life near the water.

Mary, Such a beautiful place your live and the pictures are wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your posts with us this week at Brag About It! I'm glad that you were able to drag yourself away from your computer and enjoy some time with your husband :)

I'll have to try and make a habit of this Laurie, but with all these comments comes responibility. Thank you as always for your sweet words.

These are a beautiful series of photos - I especially love the mountain shots. You have some stunning landscape surrounding you. I'd have be tearing myself away from these views, not the computer screen. Haha!!

What you say regarding things looking different once you have a camera in hand is so very true!

I am just starting to discover what it means to be a photographer and of course it helps to have this stunning scenery. Thansk for the sweet comments Jade.

Mary, It's nice meeting your through image-in-ing photo link up. I love your collection of photos shot while on your walk with the husband!
